Join us for a train ride in the historic Danbury railyard!

As a living history museum, we offer tours of our ten-acre railyard from the comfort of a seat in one of our vintage coaches, historic cabooses, or even the cab of the locomotive! Train rides are about 30-35 minutes and include a layover stop at our historic turntable and pumphouse facility.
